Who we are

Through the support of the U.S. Forest Service Office of Sustainability and Climate and Pacific Northwest Research Station, Adaptation Partners work with researchers and resource managers in the U.S. Forest Service and other organizations to provide scientific information on climate change effects and adaptation.

What we do

Adaptation Partners facilitates climate change adaptation by forming collaborations between diverse organizations and stakeholders. By focusing on sustainable natural resource management, our adaptation efforts aim to reduce the undesirable effects of climate change as ecosystems transition to a warmer climate.
